The Measles

This is my daughter Ella, and she may be vaccine injured.

On August 11. 2013 we sat in the PICU watching our baby girl struggle to breathe; it was exactly one week before her first birthday and this was her third admission to the PICU and her seventh trip to the ER for respiratory distress in her short one year of life. As we watched her sleep hooked up to all the monitors and machines, listening to the nurses and Doctors talking about having to intubate her we both had nothing left in us.... Something had to give here, she was going to die if this continued.

It wasn't until a few week later when things calmed down that I was going through Ella's medical records and I was listing all of her hospitalizations next to all the dates of her vaccines. Ella was brought to the ER for breathing problems every single time within 3-7 days after the receipt of one of her routine vaccinations.

After Ella became sick I was told that she was high risk and that she needed to be vaccinated more than any other "Normal" child.....

Ella began her first round of steroids at 6 months old after her asthma became uncontrollable...

Nobody ever told me that because of her high dose corticosteroids she had to take for her asthma she never should have been vaccinated in the first place because her body could never mount a proper immune response anyways....

Nobody ever told me that children that fall under the allergic umbrella (asthma, eczema and food allergies) have an imbalance in their TH1/TH2 responses causing them to be in a constant state of an overactive TH2 and that vaccine adjuvants (aluminum) are specifically designed to elicit a strong TH2 response leaving her in a constant state of inflammation, her little body constantly attacking itself....

Ella is vaccine injured and there is no doubt in my soul about that. It comes down to the chicken and the egg, what came first? Was Ella born with a genetic imbalance in her TH responses and vaccines just exacerbated that? Or did the vaccines cause the dominant TH2 response that her body couldn't regulate? It doesn't really matter I guess. What I know is that Ella, just like any other baby, wasn't born with a stamp on her forehead. Babies aren't born with a stamp that says " I have a genetic condition!" or "My body cant properly detox from vaccines!"

And that is the ultimate problem with a one size fits all vaccine schedule, you just don't know by looking at a child how they will handle it.

No. Nobody told me any of this...

I found it out all my own, the hard way.

I was listening to the Doctors, I was listening to my friends, I was listening to the other moms in the mommies groups telling me I had a responsibility to the community: I needed to vaccinate my child for The Greater Good, I needed to do this to keep her safe and to protect all your children too.

So there I stood, at every well check, lighting my child on fire to keep your kid warm

And I am angry. Angry as hell.

Now, lets unpack this shall we. All out on the table.

So now here I stand, in the middle of a Measles "Epidemic" looking at the possibility of being forced to inject my children with over 40 viruses by 1st grade because why?

When did 100 cases of anything become an "Epidemic?" When did 100 cases of a disease that has a high fever and a rash mean I lose the right to make medical decisions for my family?

When did 100 cases of a disease that hasn't killed a single person in the USA in over 10 years means I have to sacrifice my children's health for yours?

The flu kills somewhere between 3,000 to 20,000 people per year... Where is the outrage for that?

Car accidents kill over 40,000 people per year, better take cars away!

In 2014 alone 3,540 families were compensated through the vaccine injury compensation program for death or serious bodily harm caused by vaccines (and those are just the ones the government conceded to and not anywhere near the total cases filed.) Where is the outrage? Where are all the people screaming for the vaccine manufacturers to be held responsible? Oh, Yah lets talk about that.

In 1986 the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was passed into law.

Since its inception the program has awarded over 2 billion dollars to vaccine injury victims.

Prior to 1986 the vaccine manufacturers could be held liable and sued for vaccine injuries; however, they were being sued so often and loosing so much money they went to the federal government and threatened to stop making vaccines if they weren't protected. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was born. Vaccine manufacturers are no longer liable from any harm that is caused by their products. How are people paid then for their injuries? That's the best part.... Every single vaccine given has a tax placed on it and put into a kitty, then when your child is killed or brain damaged and you go to court you are paid back from your own tax dollars.

Let me see if I have this straight. It is very likely that mandatory vaccinations will become a law but there is NO recourse to hold the manufacturers responsible if it harms your child? Seems legit.

I am going to say it again so it can sink in.

You could be forced to give a drug to your child that could seriously harm them and if it does there is no way for you to hold them responsible.

I may be forced to inject my child with something that has a side effect of DEATH. Yes, DEATH and will have no choice in the matter, you as well.

Do you think vaccine reactions aren't real?

Tell that to the mothers of perfectly healthy, walking and talking 2 year olds that took their child in for routine vaccinations and they collapsed and died 3 hours later.

Tell that to the mothers of the 4 month old babies that put their children down for a nap after their routine vaccinations and they died in their sleep.

Tell that to the mother of a child that could name all the colors and shapes, count to 50 and sing all the nursery rhymes and after their routine vaccinations they lost their ability to speak or feed themselves.

Tell that to me, the mother of a child who has been on steroids since she was 6 months old, tell that to me when I look at my child and wonder if she will suffer from osteoporosis at the ripe old age of 5 due to the side effects of all the medications she needs to keep her lungs working.

You think vaccine reactions are rare? That the small amount that have serious side effects are worth it for The Greater Good? Fine, give me your baby, lets add them to the list of vaccine injured children. If you are that concerned with all the immunocompromised children out there that you think its worth it, that my child's health doesn't matter, then give me yours, come on... lets trade.

For those of you that think that if we knew what death of a child looked like we would be screaming for vaccines...

I argue the opposite.

Some of us know what death of a child looks like FROM vaccines....

And then there's those of us that will be taking on a life time of medical care for our children FROM vaccines.....

For those of you thinking that we have stood under the protection of your "herd immunity" for too long.....

I argue the opposite.

WE have sacrificed enough of our children to The Greater Good so you can feel safe.

You're Welcome.

I am not Anti-Vaccine. I am not really Anti-Anything. I am Pro. I am Pro-Informed Consent. I am Pro-Being-Able-To-Make-Medical-Decisions-For-My-Own-Children. I am Pro-Being-A-Fierce-Advocate-For-My-Child. I am Pro-Not-Letting-The-Government-Dictate-My-Childs-Medical-Needs.

Ella does not and will not qualify for a medical exemption. In the eyes of the medical and scientific community what happened to her was an unfortunate set of circumstances that has nothing to do with her vaccinations. In reality you pretty much have to have a seizure on the table 30 seconds after receiving a vaccine in order to get a medical exemption and even then its iffy. So now, here I stand, and I am now looking at the possibility of being forced to inject my child with something that may cause us to have to medically induce a coma and stick a tube down her throat so she can breathe. I may be forced to play the same game of Russian Roulette with my baby Maxine and just hope for the best, to just hope that her lungs don't fail also.

When my daughter was about two months old we were taking a walk around our block. A gentleman stopped us and warned us not to vaccinate her because the vaccinations had caused his son to become autistic. We were terrified, especially because her two month appointment (and two month vaccines) was coming up. At the recommendation of our pediatrician we decided to vaccinate her and my now 16 month old son but I hold my breath after every appointment just praying that nothing bad will happen. Thank you for posting, I am glad I read this.

You're a shill for the pharmaceutical companies stong indavidual woman. You have a false profile and you're paid to refute claims against the pharma and vaccine industry. Does your conscience allow you to sleep at night?

My nephew was developing "normally" then got his 18 month MMR. After that, he developed a series of high fevers, had continual ear infections, and stopped speaking and making eye contact. He was eventually diagnosed with dysphasia, dyslexia, and ADD. At one point, they called him "borderline autistic"...whatever that means. (If he were diagnosed today, they'd likely have him coded on the autism spectrum. But this was almost 18 years ago.) Know that the link between autism and vaccines has not been ruled out. Not in the least.

Listen sheeple, how many people have spewed out lies to sale a product? Do your OWN research and you will find the truth. http://nevadagovernor2014.com/new-study-vaccines-cause-autism-leukemia-lymphomas-journal-of-public-health-and-epidemiology-nevada-governor-2014-david-lory-vanderbeek/If you don't think injecting aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic substances into children doesn't cause harm, think again.http://english.pravda.ru/news/health/22-05-2015/130699-vaccine-0/http://www.greenmedinfo.com/toxic-ingredient/thimerosalhttps://www.facebook.com/vaccinetruth/photos/a.10150455123022989.363454.287991907988/10152976632832989/?type=1&theater

Lol... You call us sheeple, and then link to an article from Pravda, which has served as the mouthpiece for the Soviet (now Russian) Communist Party and all their associated propaganda for over a century? Good one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McfXd_Xuojs Check out Dr. Suzanne Humphries and other experts on Vaccinations. You don't need a medical exemption to not vaccinate your child, there are other exemptions available to you, check into it. Please do more research before you harm your children.

They can't force us to vaccinate our children. It's all part of the governments scare tactics plan. We just have to tell them that if they want us to vaccinate our children they must sign an affidavit stating all the ingredients in every vaccine and know 100% that there are NO SIDE EFFECTS/ vaccine injuries! i.e: no nausea, vomiting, seizures, rashes, hives, weak immune system, autism, brain damage etc. or they will be held 100% accountable and liable and will be brought to court...and the story will go viral! We need to keep exposing these kinds of stories to educate the masses....I'm truly sorry this happened to your little Ella! I pray that you and your family are blessed with peace and love. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It will help put a stop to this madness. No more children deserve to suffer. Love and light!

The state of Oregon is in a battle right now over this. A bill has been introduced quietly that removes all philosophical and religious exemptions, mandates following any and all vaccines dictated by the state, and covers not only public school attendance, but also private school, day care, and any other sponsored child groups (broad language that is amazingly open ended) We need everyone's help in fighting this.. if they can do it to oregon, they can do it to you. It is SB442, in committee as of this writing.

Texas has many bills they are working on but they are not a forced vaccination state.....YET! A signed affidavit must be presented by the child's parent or legal guardian, stating that the child's parent or legal guardian declines vaccinations for reasons of conscience, including because of the person's religious beliefs. The affidavit will be valid for a two-year period. http://www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements/texas.aspx

In California it's very close to being mandatory. This movement doesn't just effect our children, but also ourselves. They've already quietly passed a bill for childcare providers to be up to date on shots including the flu shot every year. Soon this will reach everyone and we will not have a say as to what is put in our bodies. Speak up and fight back!

I'm so sorry for everything you've gone through. I appreciate you making your voice heard. I prayed for you & baby Maxine. I hope your daughter has a complete recovery & this is a just story you share with others, and not a life long struggle. Whatever happens, never stay silent. Silence is what brings others to the cliff and pushes them over because there is no warning.

Congratulations on your blog post going viral, I believe it will be read by thousands! No one will ever force our family into vaccinations. We will move from state to state to state until there are none left. This is not Nazi Germany nor do I believe it ever will be. This issue will die down eventually just like it always has. Our oldest is 22 years old, at least three times in those years we have dealt with media hysteria!

I'm so very very sorry for your daughters struggles, I wish there had been someone in your corner advocating with you!

I'm very sorry to hear this let me say first, heartbreaking. My daughter had a bad reaction to her shots and it was terrifying. However not to start a big argument, I think kids that do well with vaccines should get them, to protect the kids who don't do well with them like ours. My two other children did fine with their vacs, never even a fever.

We chose not to vaccinate based on research spurred from negative reactions within our family. IF we had vaccinated then we too could have had a SIDS death 10 days after first vaccines (nephew), autistic children like my cousins or projectile vomiting and screaming for hours with personality changes. When they were little I did not know they'd be allergic to wheat, I did not know I was a celiac, I did not know their excema was a sign or that children with weak lungs would be affected. I did not know that I was moderately allergic to eggs and that a few of them would also develop an aversion to eggs. I am and have been extremely thankful my eyes were opened early. No one should have to vaccinate their children to protect another child. Or only get a waiver because their child reacted badly. One shot can be too much.

For the record I would never be in on that vote to keep injecting your child for the "greater good" people who think some vaccines are affective are not wishing them upon those who are becoming injured.from them! I know I don't want to be forced to give my daughter any more but if she did do well like my other two, I would vaccinate her as I do not want to see kids dying or injured from disease either. :(

My son suffered similar breathing problems post vaccination and, fully trusting all doctors, I never connected it to vaccines and fully accepted that he had the common ailment "childhood asthma" . Three days after receiving his 12 month vaccines he succumbed to a cytokine storm that ravaged his body and caused his airway to suffocate itself. The entire 72 hours he spent dying my concerns were dismissed as "just regular side effects of the vaccine. Let us know if he gets a fever.". Even my panicked meltdown telling multiple drs he couldnt breathe was not taken seriously because I didnt have a stethoscope or degree.

It took six years to find out why he died. The original medical examiner lied on his autopsy protocol, with held or neglected to perform tests, stole and destroyed organs vital to determining actual cause if death and told me "probably one of your other kids laid on him or stood on him, I dont know" .

My father took his own life after this. I have found my husband nearly gone by his own hand after this. Hospitals have tried to take my youngest child after finding our I don't vax. My three youngest havent seen s doctor in well over a year because twice they'be reported me to DSS citing neglect.

And this is my reward for giving my son to them, the unGREATful good. Like you, I cannot ever give them another one....they dont understand the price that was paid for their vaccine....the name stamped upon it. I myself stated that if they look down they'll see my sons tiny shoulders beneath their feet as they are being carried by the lost and irreparably damaged.

This made my heart hurt listening to this, and I know it's the truth. It's so unbelievable that people who have not had a loved one injured by vaccines, simply cannot fathom this reality. My nephew has epilepsy that began after his 5 month shots (his neurologist has granted him only a "partial" medical exemption- what good will that do?), and I believe my own son's febrile seizures, vocal and physical tics, eczema and severe malabsorption were related to his shots (my child and his sibling have no medical exemption), but who cares what I think? I am just a mom, JUST a mom, what the hell do we know about our children? Hugs to you, mama. And keep on speaking up. Eventually the naysayers will be drowned out by the thousands of voices that will no longer shut up. State Bill 277 has awakened a giant. The pharmaceutical companies better watch out, as mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers and loved ones band together to say enough is enough!

Thank you for writing this...a million times...thank you! My daughter has allergies. God bless you and your family! I can't thank you enough for writing this with the fervor and emotion and conveyong what I feel about this issue. Thank you for speaking for all of us!!!!!!!

Once the vaccine manufacturers were no longer liable for any injuries that they created by vaccines, the manufacturing of vaccines became a cash cow for them/.Who pays for theses injuries? The government. Who pays for the government? The taxpayers. We, the taxpayers pay for all the injuries that children and adults experience from vaccines. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

it boils down to this. the doctors dont give a shit about you. having a reaction in office wont get you an exemption. i went into shock 3-5 minutes after a vaccination. i was in the waiting room and everyone saw.....and yet here i am with no medical exemption. my brother went into shock from the same vaccine too, he had a different doctor and went on a different day. he does not have one either. no one can say it wasnt the vaccine with us, and yet they never gave us that exemption

I am sharing this! Thank you for sharing this information and I hope take the time to read this and understand! Prayers for you and your family! No one should have to suffer the way you and your little are without being accountable!

...Anger is a great way to scare people with the wrong information.You are responsible for researching. You blame medical professionals yet you knew your child had allergies. Shame on YOU for putting your daughter is jeopardy. Shame on YOU for not protecting your child. This on you and her father. Medical professionals are not know-alls...why would you not consult with your child's allergist prior to anything being injected into your child's body. Don't you have a second child as well? Get your shit together and stop blaming everyone else.

Ella did not have an allergist until she was almost 10 months old when she had her first allergic reaction and at that point she had already been vaccinated 4 times with over 20 viruses. Previous to that I had spoken to her regular pediatrician at length regarding the connection between vaccines and her health problems and she continued to assure me that she needed to still be vaccinated. Once I spoke with her allergist at 10 months she told me the same as well. What came first the chicken or the egg? Did the vaccines cause her to be ill or was she already genetically predisposed to not be able to handle the massive toxins being injected into her? We will never know. What I do know is that children are not born with stamps on their foreheads that say "Over active TH2 or genetically predisposed!" That is the problem here, how is one to know?

Funny you should mention my 2nd child, she is completely unvaccinated and has no health problems at all. None.

This is very interesting, my son is gluten/wheat/lactose intolerant but we didn't know until he had all his vaccinations and at the age of 2 suspected autism, diagnosed age 3 over the years It has been my belief that because of his allergies that his body has been unable to cope with the vaccinations...thank you for sharing Lorraine Scotland

All anyone has to do is research your Facebook post in all of the parenting groups and your personal page to find out you have another child. The posts you have made on social media range from outright frenzies to blaming the child's father. You could have and should have done more to protect your child. Her laying in that hospital bed is because you did not protect her. That is on you. I have seen cases where DFS have removed children because of these actions and would be very cautious about this "advice" and experience you are releasing into the permanence of the internet. I have dealt with childhood illnesses and did everything possible from second, third opinions...why did you not question the hospital staff? Run more tests? Why did you wait 7 times before sitting down and doing anything? You are blaming medical professionals because you are sloppy and ignorant. Your poor little girl. Have you ever been reviewed for Munchhausen by Proxy? Seems like you are the perfect match for that. Poor Ella!

You see, that's just it... Parents are d*mned if they do, and d*mned if they don't. You seem to be implying that DFS should take her daughter/kids because she didn't question the doctors immediately. And then there are doctors and other individuals who threaten to call in DFS when parents DO question the doctors or refuse to vaccinate. What is a parent to do? You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't have it both ways. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to put the pieces together in the midst of a crisis. It's not usually until well after the fact that the big picture can actually be seen. Hindsight is 20/20.

To whoever wrote that comment with the long non-human identification.... You have obviously never been there... in that moment of emotionally heart wrenching personal realization and decision... in that land of needing desperately to trust but knowing that the trust is suspect, of knowing you are responsible for hte most precious life in your world, but not knowing for sure who to trust, of making life altering decision in a moment, in a vacuum. Of realizing that you are alone in the world with no one to turn to with 100% trust... of looking into the pleading eyes of a child under attack and not knowing where to turn... of needing the advances of medical science but having to personally question and rethink all that you are told is fact, in a moment of decision and emotional trauma. You may have never been there.. some of us have.

Thank You for your honesty and your insights. We struggled many years to have children, so when they finally arrived we decided not to subject them to vaccinations, they are far too precious. Today they are 4 and 6 and so healthy. Like you I am a Pro. I am Pro-Informed Consent. I am Pro-Being-Able-To-Make-Medical-Decisions-For-My-Own-Children. I am Pro-Being-A-Fierce-Advocate-For-My-Child. I am Pro-Not-Letting-The-Government-Dictate-My-Childs-Medical-Needs. No one has the right to inject my child with foreign chemicals. End of story. Thanks again for sharing, I am inspired today..

Thank you for being so brutally honest and telling your experience. Vaccine injuries are far from rare and as more parents stand up and fight for their children the haters and the dissuaders will slither out of the woodwork. DON'T LET THEM GET YOU DOWN!

Thank you so much for sharing your little ones journey. My first child had a reaction to her Vaccinations also. With the last one around the 12month mark putting her into hospital. It was a very scary time. I never felt right about giving her the injections. There was always something inside of me that was telling not to. But I listened to the doctors and all the other mothers say oh we all have to do it. Thankfully there wasn't major permeant damage done to my little one. I now have 6 more children who aren't vaccinated and I have to say there health is so much better.

My child was injured by a high-dose drug recommended by his doctor, so I can fully relate to your story. My doctor also ignored my concerns when I questioned whether this drug was good and safe for him. Seeing your sweet child like that is heart-breaking. How can anyone ridicule you, mock you, question you, and scorn you when you have suffered so greatly is beyond me. When they have a child, a grandchild, or a dear, sweet relative who has been vaccine-injured, maybe their eyes will be opened. It alarms me how parents of vaccine-injured children are being so hatefully attacked and not only that, but their parenting skills are being questioned - as if you were supposed to *know* that your child had a vaccine injury in the midst of the trauma of hospitalizations and near-death of your child! As if *you* were a bad parent for not making the connection sooner, when you were dazed, in shock, grieving, and riddled with anxiety! It has become quite popular to shame and attack vaccine-injured children's parents - and one must ask why? Why is their argument shrill, hateful, angry and illogical? Why can't they base their argument on respectful logic and reason, and why can't they even offer a single ounce of compassion? I am calling out all of these shrill, angry haters as the paid Merck trolls that they are! I bet that they are government trolls paid by Merck because they seem to possess zero reasoning skills or compassion. Real people would recognize that you parents are in a state of grief and are already burdened by serious medical bills. Real people would say, "Wow, how awful that the government pushed that drug on you". Real people would say, "I'm very sorry to hear that your child was injured. That must be difficult to deal with". Real people would say, "No, it does not make sense to take a chance at my child suffering like yours since the odds are much higher of having a vaccine injury than they are from dying from the measles". Real people would offer you facts from medical journals to back up their position. Real people would not kill the messenger. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sorry to hear about these difficulties that your daughter, you and your family have face. God bless all of you.

My three oldest children have also had adverse reactions to vaccinations. I have read a lot of studies that connect a particular ingredient of a particular vaccination to their condition.

Your blog is the first I've heard about the TH2 connection (my research is still young). But, it would explain a lot about my sons' histories. If you have any information you could share, would you mind doing so?Thank you.

I am so sorry that you have had to face this. I will keep your precious daughter in my prayers. Thank you for sharing. My daughter reacts to vaccines. Nothing like your daughter but scary enough. After every vaccine she had she would sleep for 2 weeks straight only wake enough to each and diaper changes/bathroom. But according to her doctor this is normal. Nothing to worry about. She was sick all the time. She caught everything ended up being diagnosed with asthma. Every time she catches a cold it lasts for weeks. She is much better now that she is older and I stopped vaccinating her. I often wonder if the vaccines caused the asthma. I find it very scary that we might be forced to vaccinate our children against our will.

Beautiful. My son, who is now 4 1/2 is also vaccine injured. He stopped breathing within 5 minutes of his first shot and yet the dr was ready to give him more 8 weeks later after his release from PICU (a mere week out of the hospital). My child was was small but healthy now has a plethora of diagnoses (most neurological) and yet we can't see most drs without at least one are you vaccinating yet comment. Nearly 5 years later we are just getting his life and our back on track. Modern medicine just threw seizure drugs at us and told us to institutionalize him. Instead we began a very aggressive therapy regime (Pt, Ot, speech, vision) 5 days a week. At the age of 3 we added behavior therapy after a dx of autism was added. While I do not believe my child's autism was caused by vaccines, it certain as hell is bothered by the seizures that vaccines did cause. Now we are down to 3 therapy days a week, no more seizure meds thanks for several detoxes with a DAN protocol, and a child who while seriously delayed is progressing and may be potty trained within a year.

My daughter is 3 1/2 not vaccinated and other than having mild eczema is healthy. I can't help but be afraid that she would have suffered the same fate as her brother if she was vaccinated. My third child is due this May and I fear that my choice to make medical decisions for him will be taken away.

Were did you get your info from??? In 2014 alone 3,540 families were compensated through the vaccine injury compensation program for death or serious bodily harm caused by vaccines (and those are just the ones the government conceded to and not anywhere near the total cases filed.) I can't find any numbers that high in my research.

I just wanted to share the article your entry inspired me to write. Because your blog is on another blogging system than mine, it wouldn't allow me to hit "reblog" to directly give you credit, but I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see it.Thank you for sharing your story. I can't imagine ... thank you for your voice. You give others the guts to raise theirs. <3 http://thecautiousmom.com/2015/02/24/californian-rights-up-for-grabs-today/

Tears! We too are ones that was effected by an immunization. By the Grace of God we found out about nonconventional means of detoxing and after 18months. He is doing 98percent better. If it comes down to going to DC for a fight I am there. I will not make the same mistake and will not be told to do it. Praying for all you kindred spirits that have went through something so tragic. My heart aches. Great point in blog wonderful article. God Bless.

Beautifully written. You are not alone. My son has epilepsy. His first seizure was 3 months after a couple vaccines that were forced upon us in order to do a much needed oral surgery (MMR, DTaP, HepB). His test results show that this is NOT genetic, but rather environmental. I almost lost him to a near drown (which was his first seizure). This has to stop. Just knowing that he may not have had this happen if I had a choice... makes me sick.

I am so sorry ~ thank you for sharing your story! Not surprisingly, the flu death stats are fabricated to scare us into getting flu shots. Since you referenced flu deaths in your post, I just thought you might be interested in reading this. http://www.asrn.org/journal-advanced-practice-nursing/1212-do-not-believe-everything-you-read-about-flu-deaths.html

Whhooaaa back up a bit here, you say she was a high risk and needed to be vaccined more then regular kids what does that mean? What's a regular kid? does she have conditions already? (Other then asthma) That would have been a red flag to me, if a doctor told me that! And if you ask your doctor for information on the vaccines you can see in the pamphlet or search up online what's in the vaccines. I know plenty of moms who do the research on them and one mom doesn't get her child the flu shot cause she's allergic to eggs and the flu shot contains eggs, it's a matter of doing your research first. I never give my children anything without reading about it first! (Food included) her condition could be from anything, that's the sad part of our new developing world! We find new ways to improve our lives while poisoning ourselves with toxins from processed foods, to radioactive waves from cellphones and power cords! Im sorry this has happened to your daughter and family with great sympathy!! So I will say this here before putting anything in your or a family members body DO YOUR research!

I researched vaccines extensively before making the decision to vaccinate. Ella's health problems didn't surface until a mere days after her 4 month vaccines. After that and when she began to develop asthma as well as other allergic conditions that is when I began questioning things and that was when I was told she was high risk and needed the vaccines more.

I'd like to offer hope... we have a similar story, with a different set of circumstances. We almost lost our oldest child to ASD (Autism spectrum disorder). He also had bad reactions to vaccinations. When he fell so deep that he could no longer talk because of constant tics and brain lapses, the medical profession officially told us to "wait and see". we didnt wait. WE found how to help him through alternative means. The damage is not always reversible, but it is stoppable. Today he is 12 and 80% free of his symptoms (90% as long as we watch his diet closely). There is hope, and things you can do as a parent. Never give up. Here is his video story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?persist_safety_mode=1&safety_mode=true&v=5bbhidA255g

Dear Kimberley, I hope you got my last comment, as I wanted to give you info on Homeopathy. It didn't appear here so maybe needs to be approved. Thanks so much for sharing your story with the world. I'm so sorry to hear about Ella. Vaccines are absolute poison. Big hugs for Ella and hope she will be free from any pain and suffering soon. Big hugs to Ella and you and the rest of your family. Lisa

Here is the info as it didn't publish before. It kept me awake at night after hearing what happened to your daughter Ella. I was vaccinated without my parents consent at school, in the 1980's in Ireland. I saw a Medical Doctor who is also a Homeopathic Pediatrician and Professor of Medicine at the University of Madrid in Spain in 2013. She said in her many years of experience she saw many cases of vaccine injured children. Luckily I saw this lady who is highly educated on all of this. There are many Medical Doctors in Madrid, Spain who work as Homeopaths. I think if you could find this where you live it may help you and the fact it is non-profit it may not be costly for you. My mother saw a Homeopathic Doctor in Ireland for a back issue, which thankfully to natural medicine she is now not suffering anymore. Maybe bringing Ella to a Homeopathic Pediatrician will help her but I understand your concerns you might have after her ordeal but definitely worth having a look into Homeopathic treatment for Ella. I hope you all heal in time and I'm so sorry it happened to your daughter. http://www.ndimed.org/ http://hpakids.org/ https://www.homeopathic.com/Articles/Using_homeopathy_for_ailments/Homeopathic_Pediatrics__Safer_Saner_Medicine.html

I am sorry to hear about your baby. 2 years ago I sat with a daughter who suffered multiple allergies, elevated TSH levels, eczema, on general antihistamine and no speech to talk of. My son suffered mood disorder and aggression. I found out how to balance my daughter's immune system back in 2013. Today she no longer suffers the problems she had, she is off antihistamines and her speech improved. I just started my son on the same treatment and I have seen a major improvement. Mood disorders have been linked to brain inflammation, and it is related to an autoimmune problem. It can even be triggered by food allergies, infection and other problems.

You were right to try and understand the immune system. My daughter will be 9 and my boy will be 6.

Have them both on Moducare (sterols and sterolines, only used from age 5 unfortunately) with omega 3, probiotics, magnesium, zinc, selenium and B-complex in appropriate daily dosages which helps to balance the immune system and help it function appropriately.

I hope this helps and other moms, please let people know as this is a very important piece of information. We can not always control what our kids are fed and there is no point in denying them a life without the occasional treats when there is another way.

Having a balanced and a healthy immune system also facilitates the body to detox where as before it could struggle tremendously.

This is scary for me.. We didn't vaccinate Zoe and didn't plan to before she as born but when she was born with eczema and allergies it made it more obvious to us that vaccines weren't a good idea. We've had enough eye rolls and people acting like we're bad parents on this decision but now Zoe has a lot of allergies and asthma finally officially diagnosed. She's on meds 2x a day plus another as needed.. if we had vaccinated her, she might be as sick as baby Ella. Zoe's healthy even with asthma and allergies and I am so grateful for this post.

A vaccine has an adverse reaction to medication for asthma, therefor vaccines are bad? That's a little backwards. Why isn't this a rant about the asthma medication. Doubt that's 100% safe. You should go after the hospital and doctor that made that call. Therin lies the problem - and it's very sad your daughter has to suffer from this mistake. But it's NOT because of vaccines. Only 100 cases of measles a year BECAUSE OF VACCINES - but that's no big deal. Thanks science! Can't wait to see how many vaccine preventable diseases come back BECAUSE vaccinations have made the symptoms non life threatening or made us (that are vaccinated) immune to them all together.

Maybe it will take a vaccine preventable epidemic to open people's eyes.

Not much of one for reading comprehension, are you? She's not opposed to vaccines, she's opposed to government-mandated vaccines. You can't get a medical exemption based on the fact that YOU are convinced your child has an adverse reaction. AND an adverse reaction must be severe enough, and reported to qualify someone for the exemption.

As I understand, she's convinced the vaccines were the source of the asthma to begin with, and that the medications for asthma exacerbated later reactions.

Parents have the responsibility of doing what they can to raise their children to adulthood as healthily and happily as they know how. The government should have NO authority over medical treatment, especially one made without consideration for the individual child.

Vaccines have their place and value, but it's medical treatment, and the autonomy of the person to make medical decisions without coercion must be supported.

Hi Kimberly, This is Patti from www.familyfieldguide.com. Thanks so much for your post. It makes no sense whatsoever that children who have been rendered medically fragile due to immunizations must be subjected to the very poison that caused their illness. It's like forcing a child allergic to peanuts to eat Snickers bars. I have a question: Was Ella put on steroids for asthma induced by a vaccine she received? Or did she develop asthma for some other reason? My heart goes out to you and your little girl. Like you, I am not an anti-vaxxer. I am all for giving parents the right to choose.

I'm not anti-vax but I am against big Pharma.I have found that our homes are toxic from the chemicals we use for cleaning & laundry. If you clean up the home, you'll find you'll have less issues with allergies, asthma & eczema. There are better options available, love to share.

If the CDC is so reliable, why does their website purposely leave out the third largest cause of death in the U.S.? That would be medical misadventure, or medical errors, at 440,000 people per year, according to 2014 reports. Look it up. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm and then compare it to http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/medical-mistakes-are-3rd-leading-cause-of-death-in-us

When my second son was about 15 months I took him in for a routine vaccine at the health department. Before I got to the car he was running a fever and became very agitated. When we got home he was even warmer. The doctor told me to give him the usual Tylenol-the answer for everything-and watch him. By about 4 in the afternoon he began to have a convulsion. I put him in a tepid tub to bring down the fever and relax him. The doctor still did not want to see him. Just told me to watch him closely. From that time on we broke his vaccines into several increments. I felt he couldn't handle the full dose. If I'd known what I know today I would never have given him another dose of any vaccine. My question is: why are they filled with such lethal ingredients that we know are harmful? I've never had a good answer.
